Sketch Idea

I was emailing my brother this morning, joking about how his extended tour in Korea is taking on Apocalypse Now proportions, and that I'll soon be tasked by my family to go up river and terminate his command.

Then I thought about making a sketch where some Marlowe-like guy gets a mission, during Vietnam, to go up river and find Bob Hope's traveling GI Christmas Tour, and terminate that. Not very topical, I know, but the idea of it made me laugh.

" He's operating beyond the pale of human conduct...still telling jokes from the 1940s...head-lining Anita Ekberg, for chrissakes! Terminate the comedian's command--with extreme prejudice."
